Congrats Owen! You are in the movie.
These are probably the two most likely hypotheses among others.

They shot more footage but didn't use my other explanations since the piece
runs so short.

Really interesting. I remember we used to use two lines for the

was a very stable currency. Like the pound and yen and euro symbols,
they have two lines not one.
